ism, including, I am sorry to say
many Irishmen, that BritUn always
in i commerdal advantages has
long been a Prussian slander. Treit
schke, the writer on whoso teaching
Kaiser William tho Second was nur-
tlirp1. tniirrlif M, -n. . ,.
, ut3Ub tUttL jMigianu-g wars
were always undertaken with a viow
to the conquest of markets. He did
not explain why England should tni
so much trouble to conquer markets
seeing that she gave the whole world,
including Germany, the benefit of ac
cess to them. He was so anxious to
stir up the German race against Eng
land that he did not stop to choose
sound arguments. He took the first
that came to hand. He knew that
Napoleon had called tho English "a
nation of Jiopkeapers." He repeated
uie taunt without troubling to think
about it. The enemies of England
are never tired of repeating it after
him. This Treitschke, although a
writer of much learning and force,
was lamentably ignorant of England
for one who set up to bo an authority
about her and her people. He said,
for example, that since duelling,
which he strongly advocated, had
been abolished among the English,
"moral coarseness In tho English
army had been on the increase" and
officers fought with their fists in pub
lic places. He deplored the "lack of
chivalry" in England caused by the
lack of such an army as Germany
possessed, and contrasted with It the
"simple loyalty" of the Germans.
Watch a German walking into a
room in front of his wife whom he
has taught to follow meekly behind,
notice how he sits in a street-car
while women stand, and you will see
very quickly what his chivalry
amounts to! Treitschke believed
that anyone could build railways in
England without Acts of Parliament,
and thought that "the idea of a Brit
ish universal Empire" was very gen
eral among the English people, one
of the most profoundly foolish ver
dicts a historian ever made.
Treitschke was a professor. He
was very deaf. He had no experience
of the real business of life. He mere
ly theorized about it. He was not
even a German. He was a Czech.
Yet upon his theories the Prussian
system of world-politics, the Prussian
ambition for world-power, is based.
An American writer says of him:
"Germans quote Treitschke as no
historian has ever been quoted by
English or by French. He is to the
present generation of Germans an in
spired scripture, a Bible." He it was
who developed the not'on that a state
is something apart from the citizens
who compose it and that it "lives-according
to its own laws." In other
words, acts which would be criminal
or brutal if performed by individuals
may be performed by the state with
out blame. Now, if we keep In mind
that a state is nothing more than a
collection of individuals, we might
apply the Treitschke argument with
eqSal force to the acts of tho trusts
against which the American nation
struggled so hard a few years ago
and which it finally overcame. These
trusts were l'kewise collections of In
dividuals. They might have pleaded
sometimes the plea was put forward
in their favor, Oat their illegal Hies
could not be illegal "because they
were trusts." The plain truth is that
any act which is blameworthy in an
Individual is no less blameworthy
when it is committed by a collection
of individuals, whether they call
themselves a stato or a trust or a
burglars' club.
Reasons Why tho United States En

This is what wo have got to mako
Prussia admit and practice. Until
sho does so, she is as much outside
tho comity of nations as a man who
